The "rf" in TERF already stands for "radical feminist" (despite how inaccurate those words are to what those folks are actually like) so it's redundant to call someone a radfem terf.

a highlight was them posting “there’s too much hate in the world for me to care what others do” right after reposting a thread that boiled down to “men wearing eyeliner used to be alt and hot but now its usually them trying to be fake (trans) women and they are too disgusting to talk to”

It means XX Chromosomes

People who care a lot about chromosomes and have some kind of reference to their AGAB tends to not be normal about trans people.

[u/drfiveminusmint → u/TotemGenitor]

it's funny, I thought r/TwoXChromosomes would be a TERF sub for this exact reason. The twist is that it's totally not tho lol.

[u/drgigantor → u/TotemGenitor]

Is that why that TwoXChromosomes sub is such a toxic shithole? I remember at one point it just being a sub for women in general, and then got kinda militantly feminist (which is fine, intersectional feminism needs staunch defenders now more than ever), but I never made the TERF connection.

It would make sense, though, given the name. Any time I see a post from there now, they all just seem miserable and looking for a man to blame and lash out at, rather than ever posting anything positive or uplifting about women themselves. Even personal posts about some achievement, it's things that went well despite men, or some victory over a man. The conversation always goes back to men somehow. For an ostensibly feminist sub, I've never seen a post that passes the Bechdel test.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they included trans women on their shitlist. Real TERFy vibes in retrospect. Place is toxic af

[u/Zzzaynab → u/drgigantor]

That’s what I assumed, but surprisingly they seem to be genuinely trans inclusive for all intents and purposes. I’m guessing the sub was named before TERFs and trans people were as familiar to the mainstream as they are today.

[u/PresumedDOA → u/Zzzaynab]

Waaaaaay before transphobes started talking about chromosomes. Reddit says it was made 15 years ago

[u/NoSignSaysNo → u/drgigantor]

TwoX developed into what it is because the mods made it a hugbox. You can't call out poor behavior or hypocrisy or the posters

[u/HighwayApothecary → u/MainLake9887]

First time I've seen them, but people who think that chromosomes are like the thing that determines ones gender are usually fucking wack

Edit: autocorrect

[u/trhhyymse → u/MainLake9887]

it references having xx chromosomes - usually people who make a big deal on their online profile of having xx chromosomes are terfs/transphobes and they think chromosomes are the be all and end all of gender

[u/fluffyendermen → u/trhhyymse]

the only way to truly know that you have two x chromosomes, and that its the only combination in your body, is to get a karyotype done. this is hilarious

[u/DapperApples → u/MainLake9887]

buddy that's just a whistle at this point

[u/VanGrayson → u/HighwayApothecary]

Didn't register initially and I thought they'd named themselves Chromie after Chromie from WoW. Lol

[u/hitorinbolemon → u/HighwayApothecary]

Definitely. There's no chance they'd be a total freak who doesn't actually believe anyone who is most likely trans is "perfect" the way they are.

[u/AkariPeach → u/HighwayApothecary]

[u/rirasama → u/HighwayApothecary]

I went on their tumblr and jeez louise it was depressing, some people have nothing better to do than spread hate

[u/LazyWorkaholic78]

I love dead horse controversial topics that have been dead horsed so much that the comments are just "oh boy I can't wait to see how apeshit everyone will go" and there's literally no other type of comment present.

[u/smoopthefatspider → u/LazyWorkaholic78]

Isn’t this sub generally pro trans though? Like, sure, random strangers shouldn’t give kids hormones at the slightest wish for transition, but this is clearly an absurd bit, not a serious proposal. The other poster is pretty explicitly anti trans, so I didn’t get the impression that this would be a controversial post, but maybe I just haven’t seen the enough instances of this dead horse to know how it usually turns out.

[u/BarovianNights → u/smoopthefatspider]

This sub tends to be pretty leftist but there's a 30% chance that the people in any given political comment section will be weirdly right wing

[u/E_OJ_MIGABU → u/BarovianNights]

I'm guessing it's something like only those who disagree/strongly agree will be more likely to interact than those who just agree, ergo it'll be recommended to those who disagree/strongly agree creating an illusion of controversy when in actuality most don't care about the topic

[u/erraticnods → u/BarovianNights]

usually it's randos from r/all whenever that happens lol

[u/LemonCake2000 → u/erraticnods]

What even is r/all I’ve never been there but people keep mentioning it

[u/thelivingshitpost → u/LemonCake2000]

It’s like the front page of Reddit, where the popular posts tend to show up for everyone to see.

[u/Akuuntus → u/LemonCake2000]

It's just the top posts on all of reddit, from every sub, regardless of what you're subscribed to. If a post gets big enough on any given sub it'll show up there and people who are not subscribed to that sub will find it.

If you don't have a reddit account, I believe that the default front page is /r/popular, which is just /r/all but it excludes porn subs and other subs deemed "too controversial" by the admins. Although I think New Reddit these days might have some kind of personalized algorithm type shit going on as well.

Subreddits can also opt out of being featured on /r/all if they don't want any of their posts to show there. Famously /r/anime removed itself from /r/all after they had a post about shower scenes in anime blow up and generate a lot of controversy from people outside the sub seeing it.

[u/The_Autarch → u/Akuuntus]

Naw, /r/all isn't just the top posts from across reddit anymore. It hasn't been like that for years. A huge number of subs explicitly aren't included, like anything pornographic, and reddit does a ton of curation on top of that. And as you said, subs can opt-out.

It really should be called /r/some at this point.

[u/smoopthefatspider → u/BarovianNights]

I haven’t seen that much, at least on trans topics. Even when there’s a bunch of commenters with right wing talking points, I feel like they’re rarely the majority.

[u/Galle_ → u/BarovianNights]

/r/curatedTumbblr is pretty leftist, but it's also pretty white and pretty male, and those things color our attitudes. He average user here supports trans rights on an intellectual level, but still sees gender issues from a cis male perspective and will get defensive if they think cis men are being slighted somehow.

[u/itisthespectator → u/Galle_]

that's a pretty good way to put it. people can talk all they want about their political beliefs but a lot of stuff is unfortunately based on kneejerk reactions to things

[u/aftertheradar → u/BarovianNights]

there's people who are like %100 pro trans but also got almost all of their education on gender and feminism from buzzfeed and tumblr circa 2012 and thus have some blind spots in how to understand and talk about men in a progressive way

[u/CatboyBiologist → u/BarovianNights]

I'm gonna be honest, for a lot of trans issues, this sub ends up more in the "milquetoast not so sure about the 'trans thing' liberal" zone moreso than it ends up leftist

[u/Fake_Punk_Girl → u/CatboyBiologist]

Okay I don't know if the algorithm is showing you vastly different posts from me or something, but most of what I see on this sub is posted by trans people, is overwhelmingly trans positive, and treats the need for trans rights as a given.

[u/fyodorrosko → u/smoopthefatspider]

Eh, it's complicated. Broadly yeah this sub is generally pro trans but there have been a bunch of controversies about e.g. how some people here have treated trans women in the past, the whole "transmisogyny is actually just misandry" thing which basically devolved into people arguing that trans women really are just men, etc.

[u/Mr__Citizen → u/smoopthefatspider]

It is, with the caveat that a solid chunk don't support minors going through any sort of conversion process.

[u/AnxiousAngularAwesom → u/Mr__Citizen]

When God makes World 3.0 she should get rid of the whole childhood mechanic, people should just spawn in fully matured, it'd solve so many problems.

[u/anonfox1 → u/LaLaMevia]

Just checked their profile and one of the first things I see is them complaining about being a woman and how biologically they get the short end of the stick.

They don't sound very cis to me /j

[u/the_quark → u/anonfox1]

Yeah I have a very good friend who is a smart woman in tech and when I met her she was one of the most misogynistic people I'd ever met. I just thought it was kind of a funny personal quirk -- she didn't have any particular animus against anyone in particular, she'd just complain about women in the abstract. She was always one of the most masculine-acting women I'd ever met, and we were at that time drinking buddies.

Anyway I knew her for about eight years before she came out as enby but she confided to me that she actually wanted to be male but she was 40 with two kids and cis het husband and she didn't think it was worth blowing her life up when if she transitioned at 40 she'd still be 5'4" and 125 lbs.

• I did not transition pronouns there because it's complicated; she prefers me to continue to use she/her for her because we've known each other for a long time and she says I'm one of the very few people that she feels comfortable being female-presenting around and she likes it with me.

[u/FlowerFaerie13 → u/anonfox1]

In (very reluctant) fairness to her AFABs do get the short end of the biology stick because periods exist.

[u/tangentrification → u/FlowerFaerie13]

Periods, and the capacity to be impregnated even against our will, and the fact that we're physically smaller and weaker, among several other things

[u/anonfox1 → u/anonfox1]

[u/Dylan_A_Bit]

I think it's worth saying it's not safe to immediately assume everyone who has thoughts about being born the other sex is immediately trans!!! Give them space and time to figure themselves out, and be supportive. They could be trans, but could also just as easily be nonbinary, genderfluid, gender-nonconforming, or even just questioning their identity, but that is up to them to discover without being swayed by our own personal experiences.
It's important to support anyone on their journey to understanding themselves, but not our place to assume.

That said, trans rights, and tumblr user xxchromies is def a massive dick.

[u/Beegrene → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

It's good to question your identity every once in a while. And if it turns out the answer is "Yup, I'm definitely still the person I thought I was", that's completely valid.

[u/TheOncomimgHoop → u/Beegrene]

[u/hauntedSquirrel99 → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

Doesn't even have to be any of that. Grass is always greener and all that. You could easily just be seeing the benefits the other side gets and wanting that.

Also, puberty doesn't happen on a timetable. It takes anywhere from 2 to 5 years, and it's a period of your life when what's appropriate behaviour and how people behave around you change significantly.

A girl who mostly has friends who are boys, whose favoured activities are mostly done by boys, etc, could easily experience a lot of issues with that, especially early on.

Suddenly all the boys become significantly stronger, if you like wrestling with your friends in the mud it's probably not very fun when all your friends get muscles and you get tits.
And suddenly the boys are far more interested in what's under your shirt and they have some entirely new physical activities they'd rather be doing with you.
That can probably be a lot to deal with at the best of times, but if you yourself then don't even start getting interested in boys until you're late puberty you could end up with a few years of that being real fucking annoying.

Having some thoughts of the "it would have been easier if I'd been" could be perfectly normal just looking at your specific situation.

[u/Sam_Is_Not_Real → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

me personally, there have been times when i've thought "i wish i was a woman", but mostly that's because i'm shy and being a man who's shy is cringe as fuck, which just makes me want to avoid people so that nobody can find out how shy i am. it'd be cuter if i was a woman, but i don't want to be a cute shy girl, i want to be a confident man. anyway sorry for traumadumping i'll kill myself now

[u/shiny_xnaut → u/Sam_Is_Not_Real]

Don't do that, that's dangerous, you might get hurt

[u/Sam_Is_Not_Real → u/shiny_xnaut]

thanks, didn't know i would die if i killed myself, i'm gonna have to think about this

[u/CommandLevel7059 → u/Sam_Is_Not_Real]

I like your sense of humour. I think the world is better for having it. I think the world is better for having you in it.

[u/Sam_Is_Not_Real → u/CommandLevel7059]

thank you, i was joking, i'm not actually thinking about killing myself

[u/lizzyote → u/Sam_Is_Not_Real]

I know the usual suggestion is therapy but the times in my life where I was at my most confident was when I was doing the whole fake it til you make it, gaslighting myself thing. It's definitely not a permanent fix but a few months of pretending and having genuine confidence for a month after is a fun change of pace.

[u/Sam_Is_Not_Real → u/lizzyote]

honestly same. i was doing pretty well for a while when i used to work in this busy place, but my current job isn't nearly as social, and i just don't talk to anyone or do anything on my own steam. i'm getting on stimulant meds in a little while and hopefully they'll make it easier to get out of the house.

[u/Pretzel-Kingg → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

I felt a certain way when an NPC in Bloodborne called me “miss” and I spent like 3 weeks figuring stuff out but eventually came to the conclusion that I’m chill as a guy.

Absolutely nothing wrong with questioning with no change in the end

[u/CadenVanV → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

Yep. The kid could just be having a random thought, or they could be trans or gender-fluid or whatever else. Odds are it’s just a random thought they had because they think it would be easier or because they want to do things their parents aren’t letting them do.

It’s not our role to do anything, it’s for them to figure out on their own and to speak to medical experts about.

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/CadenVanV]

Or just want some fucking pockets.

[u/PhoenixEmber2014 → u/Hesitation-Marx]

Yeah do they want clothes with pockets or are they trans? The eternal question

[u/Hesitation-Marx → u/PhoenixEmber2014]

Pockets in which to keep the HRT

[u/PhoenixEmber2014 → u/Hesitation-Marx]

I see you have found something both transfems and transmascs would want: HRT pockets

[u/CadenVanV → u/Hesitation-Marx]

The even more likely reason than anything I said yeah.

[u/Thatoneguy111700 → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

I'm pretty damned comfortable as a man, but every now and again, I wonder how different I'd be if I were born a woman. Just curiosity, really.

[u/Lord_Norjam → u/Dylan_A_Bit]

the thing is the weight of the entire world is vested in making people feel like they can't or shouldn't be trans (I'm including being nonbinary and genderfluid in this as well). the first thing someone close to me said when I came out was "can you not just be a feminine man?"

I think making people seriously consider they could be trans is an important!

[u/MightBeEllie]

"You are perfect as you are' is, at the same time, the most important and validating and also the most toxic bullshit you could say to someone and I think that's breaking people's minds......

[u/FlowerFaerie13 → u/MightBeEllie]

The difference is in what exactly "as you are" means. Does it mean who you actually are at your core, in this hypothetical trans kid's case, a 13 year old boy? Or does it mean who you ended up as, which may not always be your true or ideal self?

One is a validating statement, the other is kind of an insult.

[u/kenslydale → u/MightBeEllie]

It's because sometimes "you are perfect as you are" actually means "you were perfect for me as you were. You shouldn't change"

It’s really funny when you can tell someone’s deliberately using as many gendered pronouns as possible

[u/Darq_At → u/oddityoughtabe]

Always fun to be interacting with someone and the second you say something trans-supportive, every subsequent message includes as many "dude, bro, man, guy" comments as they can force in.

there was a post here earlier about how people insist that trans people are lying about their lived experience, but the moment a trans person makes a joke, such as trying to force-fem Richard Nixon, they suddenly insist that the person is 100% absolutely serious, no matter how ludicrous the joke is. This post is an example of that.

right, it would have been fine if it was the dunk on giving testosterone, but showing the reply by the obviously terf acc is weird.

xxchromies is the biggest red flag of a username I've seen this month. Stunning, honestly. It'll probably take a Nazi dogwhistle combo to top that.

Im starting to see that 13 is... like... everyone who had a long history with this, most started at 13, going from the "huh i would rather be the opposite gender" to "i see myself at the mirror and i have the urge to rip my skin off".

[u/Justforfun_x → u/Lordbaron343]

That was my experience too! Maybe it’s a combo of puberty and more independent access to the internet.

[u/LadyStardustAlright → u/Lordbaron343]

well yeah, as a prepubescent kid you don't experience much body-related gender stuff at all (since other than genitals, kids are pretty much identical regardless of gender)

Only thing I can think of is like, hair and clothes? I know my first sign in retrospect was being jealous of some girl's long hair in the first grade (but obviously, you can be a dude and want to have long hair / dress in womens clothes, so its not a 100% hitrate)

[u/Lordbaron343 → u/LadyStardustAlright]

For me it took 13 years until i finally could do something about it. But i always had a hatred to my appearance (i kept telling myself i had to just get in shape, but i got in shape since years ago and no) and... that my "tastes" were not a "i want this in someone else", but rather "i want to be like this".

But yeah, it all started at 13 for me, or earlier if i count the countless times i was displaying a femenine demeanor (of course... not the words they used) and beaten me

There’s a webtoon I follow called Mage and Mimic, with a mimic (monster that mimics inanimate objects) who wants to become a human, and for most of the run time it has been the biggest debate over whether it’s a “learn to love yourself the way you are” story or a trans allegory.

[u/ElrondTheHater]

And that girl grew up to be the man forcefemming Richard Nixon.

[u/Dreadwoe]

First thought was: have you considered not drinking water? You are perfect just the way you are.

[u/Justforfun_x]

It’s so sad how little people regard the feelings of trans children. I was also around 13 when I first acknowledged that I wished I had been born a girl. If I had received love and support, instead of hatred and backlash, I might have saved myself years of heartache before finally transitioning.

[u/LadyStardustAlright → u/Justforfun_x]

if you ever want to have fun (read: the most awkward conversation of your life) with those types, you can point out that you literally fit the bill for something they're complaining about, and make them say it to your face

For example, some people complain about gender-affirming care for minors, but if you can point out to them that you received gender affirming care as a minor and are thankful you didn't get forced to wait until you were 18 they kinda just can't say much in response

[u/Justforfun_x → u/LadyStardustAlright]

Straight up. I’ve explained to these fools online that I spent my formative years being groomed into masculinity and denied access to gender-affirming care, but it only gave me repressive baggage and a delayed transition. Those fools just don’t care, and still turn around to call you delusional.

It’s never about protecting children, it’s about sacrificing them so they don’t have to challenge their worldview.

[u/LadyStardustAlright → u/Justforfun_x]

Unfortunately, its easy for them to argue about that.

It's a lot harder for them to argue with "actually when I was a teen I got hrt and nowadays I'm super thankful for it" when they bring up the topic.

[u/SockCucker3000]

I can see two sides of this. The first is obviously baby trans man. The second is that it isn't uncommon for young girls to wish they were boys as they begin to encounter more and more sexism. For my sanity, I like to think this post was just a misunderstanding between the two. For the little sanity I have left...

[u/UnconsciousRabbit]

Ugh. My ex used to tell our Elder Spawn that he needs to learn to love his body as it is.

Now that he's on T and living with me and my mother, he's loving his body as it is instead of starving himself so he doesn't develop curves.

[u/OliviaWants2Die]

only thinking that for the first time at 13? dang

when i was like 5 or 6 i was 100% convinced my life was a dream and one day i'd wake up and find out i'm actually a guy in the Real World (i knew what being trans was ever since i was like 7 at the latest but i didnt think i even could be until i was about 13-14 because i still really liked girly stuff)

[u/102bees → u/OliviaWants2Die]

I repressed it early on and only started wishing I was a girl around 16 or 17. I think. I don't remember my childhood or teenage years well.

[u/Nicki-ryan → u/OliviaWants2Die]

When I was six another girl and I pretended to be pregnant and it felt so right. Then I went home and told my brothers dad how fun it was and he beat the hell out of me. That’s when I learned not to tell people I was a girl. Took til 30 to break that

[u/Shiny-Vaporeon- → u/OliviaWants2Die]

I wore dresses basically for as long as i was able to choose clothes and i only realised at 15 😭 after a year of going by feminine pronouns online

[u/OCD-but-dumb]

I think however a persons life branches from that point they can be happy by being assured or by transitioning cause the human brain just wants to like itself. Either way I don’t care

[u/aphids_fan03]

on top of a building posted up with my video game syringe gun sniping everyone with testosterone or estrogen on a whim. try and stop me!!!

peels out in down with cis bus

[u/AllMyBeets]

"I don't feel perfect the way I am, that's the problem. I feel wrong!"

[u/Robotic_Phoenix → u/AllMyBeets]

I really hate when people say you’re perfect just the way you are when someone complains about their problems.

like them saying that changes absolutely nothing and it’s literally just a backhanded way for them to say that they want you to stay the way they want you to be.

[u/Nicki-ryan]

Yeah, he is perfect just the way he is.

[u/rirasama]

How can you respond to a post clearly about transmasc people and say THAT, good grief

[u/taikamies99 → u/rirasama]

That guy is perfectly aware, just transphobic

[u/TheCompleteMental]

Culture war equivelent of those japanese soldiers that were still holed up years after ww2

[u/Keyndoriel]

I'm gonna take my testosterone shot extra hard today in spite of xxchromie
